Guillén recruited 30 members of GAFE who were trained at Fort Bragg to become his personal bodyguards, enforcers, and combat mercenaries by offering pay that was much, much higher than what the government could pay. The incentive worked and the GAFE soldiers defected to the Gulf Cartel.
The cartel’s new Special Forces-trained commandos went on the warpath against all Gulf Cartel rivals, forcing other cartels to form their own paramilitary wings to combat the growing threat. But even the most powerful among the cartels, the Sinaloa Cartel could not compete with gunmen trained by the U.S. Army’s best.
That is not what you stated. The USSF trained many people from Latin American countries that joined cartels. That does not mean that the cartels have members IN the SOF. Back in my day, it was extremely difficult to get into any SOF. It hasn't changed since then. The SOF members are extremely vetted.
Of course, there might be some former USSF that went mercenary after there time in the military. That goes with any branch. The amount of money that the cartels can throw at someone is insane. I can see where a few members would go for the cash.
Its doable. In Indonesia they have Densuss 88, a counter terrorism task force formed after the Bali bombings. They hunt Muslims, all of them a Christian. No Muslims allowed and that in a Muslim country. They can figure out who is who. In fact Mexico already has some pretty shit hot teams that are not corrupt.
How many cartel members are in the Mexican army?
You'd be surprised at how many cartel enforcers served in US SOF. So not only were they trained they were active.
True story.
And your proof of that is?
It's common knowledge in the groups (SOF).
But if you need more:

Predator drones. Much easier. Especially since we already have their locations
Indeed, every kind of drone, TBH.
Well, that's how one does it.
How many cartels have nAto weapons, bought from Ukrainians?
Let's do some live fire training at their compounds.
Zetas, school of America
I'm thinking, that it might be on the job training 🤔
This isn't the flex people think. I'm pretty sure this has backfired, before.
Reminds me of the Breaking Bad DEA turtle scene
Live action modern warfare 3
This world will be cleansed! All the evil that existed was allowed to exist by complicit actors in high places!
Like training south Vietnam to take over the war
This is step one in joint ops.
I like the scorched earth method myself.
